For the Patties

  • 1 large Egg Binding agent that helps keep the patties intact during cooking.

  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced garlic brings depth and savory notes to enrich the overall taste.
  • 1/2 cup Onion Finely diced onion contributes sweetness and moisture, enhancing flavor and texture.
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded cheddar cheese melts into the patties, adding a creamy richness that complements the ranch flavor.
For the Serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, plain bread crumbs, ranch seasoning mix, minced garlic, finely diced onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into evenly sized burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick, and create a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. While the patties are cooking, prep your toppings: cook the bacon, slice tomatoes, and wash lettuce. Optionally toast the buns.
  5. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun and layering with bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes. Drizzle ranch dressing on top.
  6. Serve immediately with a side of sweet potato fries or coleslaw.
